The most common parental interventions for aggressive behavior GUARANTEE that a child will continue to be aggressive in the future. Here they are:
Telling the child, "We don't hit. We use our words."
Giving the child a negative consequence.
Explaining to the child that his sibling his sad now.
Asking the child what the problem was and trying to solve it.
Letting the kids work it out themselves.
